What are we saying to our children
When we can’t even follow rules
When we can’t act like decent people
When we run around just like fools
What are we showing them when we talk
Crossing fingers behind our backs
Crossing bridges with the matches lit
Crossing opinions with the facts
CHORUS
Who are we
To think that we
Are so fucking important
We can’t see
The things that we
Should be making important
What will we do
When the bill comes due
(And they come for me and you)
What are we doing to their future
Shoving the weak ones to the side
Shoving their noses right in it
Shoving their hopes with our pride
What are saying to our children
When we act like we don’t even care
When we put our petty selves first
When we can’t be bothered to share
Chorus
BRIDGE:
You count your blessings
While you count your pennies,
You owe them more than that
You pray but still
It won’t cover the bill
You owe them more than that
